duo querhorn Johannes Hustedt – flutes | Chai Min Werner – alphorn & gong

Chai Min Werner and Johannes Hustedt love to turn the sound into an experience through the fascinating interaction of their instruments. Their repertoire ranges from classics like J. S. Bach or W. A. Mozart to alpine music and works by contemporary composers.

In addition, duo querhorn creates music from the moment. The listener becomes part of surprising sound paintings that make the duo a colorful experience. "A moving evening" and an "impressive sound atmosphere" - so the press about the two "outstanding musicians" who are in demand in the music scene. They were guests at the chamber concerts of the Baden-Baden Philharmonic, DAS FEST Karlsruhe, the Hohenloher Kultursommer, Kultursommer Nordhessen, the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart and in the SWR tv show "Kaffe oder Tee". Concert tours have taken duo querhorn to Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, the USA, South America, Georgia and the Mediterranean. The duo expands to include guitar, harp, piano, organ, accordion or strings as needed.

In 2022 KREISRUND.media produced an artistic TV documentary about duo querhorn, directed by Magdalena Adugna. In the same year the duo was accepted into the ensemble sponsorship of the German Music Council and NEUSTART KULTUR. Also in 2022, the ecological concert formats of duo querhorn were repeatedly awarded with the “Green Event BW” by the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Alphorn and flute are excellently combined, carrying and yet floating in lightness.
Badisches Tagblatt

The music by Johannes Hustedt, flute, and Chai Min Werner, alphorn, which is rarely heard in such a formation, was deeply moving. If one usually associates the sound of the alphorn with high mountain idyll and folklore in the glowing of the Alpes, the solemn melodies of this music open the senses and broaden the horizon.
Badisches Tagblatt

"The deep, full tone of the alphorn - made of coniferous wood over three metres long - and the lightly airy, bright runs on the flute, resulted in a unique contrast. A moving evening." Pforzheimer Zeitung
